------=_Part_31493_16874447.1199653224746 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=WINDOWS-1252 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Disposition: inline All, This was a decent weekend for Project Feederwatch<http://www.bsc-eoc.org/volunteer/pfw/index.jsp?lang=3DEN&target= pg=3Dindex>for me. Although eagles and ravens were down (two and one, respectively), I had my first Pine Siskins back in over a month. In addition, just after I got off the phone with Bruce Stevens, where I was telling him about my thre= e RB Nuthatches, a fourth showed up. Additionally, one of our secretaries told me of a bird at her feeder that looked like a Blue Jay, but was almost all red. I confirmed with her that i= t did have a crest, and she said she'd call me on the weekend if it was back; sadly, no such call arrived. I've only seen a small handful of cardinals in Antigonish County. A friend near Lochaber has a male American Kestrel roosting in his barn at night; it's been preying on feeder birds (at least in part). Oh yeah, the Barred Owl made a nice addition to Project Feederwatch today=85only the second such occurrence in my ~10 years of participating in that survey. It's still sitting there as I type this, and the darkness is creeping in=85the Blue Jays and others went over to pay their respects a fe= w times, but the owl did not seem phased. I'll check for pellets tomorrow.
